A buddy brought this over yesterday. It was nice to see one of these in person. The utility pan was not porcelain coated.

Any chance I can get a close up vent shot of that one? And I hope a nice new camera is under your tree this year Stephen! ;D
-
What size is that and in comparison to mine the side handles look way different and do you have a close up of the vent
-
wow! That is really cool.

It is an 18.5"
Marty, I will get you a vent shot. It is a standard Wood dale vent. I have a Nikon SLR on the way from B & H Photo. Got a nice "Black" Friday deal. Tired of using the IPhone as a camera LOL :)
-
I don't believe yours is a 56 because the vent code would be a Chicago not wood dale. Craig probably can give a better age
-
Stephen, if that custom made it to my house, it would not be leaving! :P (I assume this one is reilly's right?)
-
Is that Ed Reilly's Custom Bar B Que Kettle?
-
Yes, this is Ed's kettle. We had a "mini" meet up yesterday. I will get a shot of the vent. It was a Wood Dale vent. Good point about it not being a Chicago vent. The utility pan was interesting. It was made out of the same material as the legs. I had never seen one in person.
-
Very nice Harris, it's always a pleasure to see a grill like that. I can't wait to see more mini meet pictures.
-
That is nice!!!! We've got a collaborative project in the works based on this era. There's no such thing as too many pictures. Love it!!
-
Can you show us the underside of that grill and pan when you get a chance?

Oh myyyyyy

Couple pretty cool looking grills there - thanks for sharing!
-
Thanks again Harris, that's a really nice piece of Weber history.
-
Cant say I've seen leg sockets like those before.
-
Cool! Thanks for showing the undercarriage! On those sockets , Zorknards '56 22 has the same style leg sockets. I'm curious how that style was welded to the bowl. Look forward to seeing it all shiny again!

That triangle ash pan has me thinking this is a 1957 model at the latest. Maybe '58 on the high side. Who knows if 18's stayed with triangle pans for another year after the 22's changed to the early clipped pans. One more puzzle to solve.
-
Wow! All I can say about that. Thanks for the pic.
I wonder how they did that finish. I have few ideas but I'd really like to see the process.
I'm speechless.

:o

Those welded leg sockets are very similar to the front leg socket of the Yellow Ranger. And that was a 1965 grill.

The old sockets were a piece of round pipe welded onto the bowl. It was before the style with the three tabs was invented. Zork's is the same.
